John Skoog: Redoubt, Towner, Eastbourne
For his first solo show in a UK public gallery, Swedish artist John Skoog has produced a new film set in the flat farmlands of the southern provinces of his homeland. The result is a powerful study of character and emotion evoking memories of film works by cinema greats such as Victor Sjostrom and Mauritz Stiller.
Until 6 April, www.townereastbourne.org.uk
Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, Nottingham Contemporary, Nottingham
The artist formally known as Spartacus has never been shy of taking on big issues, and her performances and art objects often champion the values of the amateur and the art of improvisation. For this, her first solo exhibition at a public gallery in Britain, the 2012 Turner Prize nominee presents a selection of recent works around two large scale performative sculptures – including a tent-sized ‘Brainbug’.
Until 23 March, www.nottinghamcontemporary.org
Sunflowers, National Gallery, London

Until 27 April, www.nationalgallery.org.uk
Diagrams, Holden Gallery, Manchester
The four artists in this exhibition question our understanding of diagrams as simple, visual representations of information.
